AB InBev Revises its Dividend Proposal and Reschedules its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting
The enclosed information constitutes inside information as defined in Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse and regulated information as defined in the Belgian Royal Decree of 14 November 2007
regarding the duties of issuers of financial instruments which have been admitted for trading on a regulated market.
14 April 2020 – Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext: ABI) (NYSE: BUD) (MEXBOL: ANB) (JSE: ANH) (“AB
InBev” or the “Company”) announced today that it is revising its proposal to pay a final 2019 dividend of EUR
1.00 per share to a proposal to pay a final 2019 dividend of EUR 0.50 per share and is rescheduling the
ordinary and extraordinary shareholders’ meeting that was to be held on 29 April 2020 to 3 June 2020, in
accordance with the Belgian royal decree n°4 of 9 April 2020.
Given the uncertainty, volatility and continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, AB InBev has determined
that it would be prudent and in the best interests of the Company to reduce the amount of the final 2019
dividend. This decision is consistent with the Company’s financial discipline, deleveraging commitments and
other actions taken to navigate this environment.
The Company will reschedule the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to 3 June 2020 (the
“Rescheduled Meeting”). All resolutions proposed for the meeting originally scheduled for 29 April 2020 will be
set on the agenda of the Rescheduled Meeting, except that the statutory annual accounts that will be presented
for approval will reflect the interim dividend of EUR 0.80 per share that was paid in November 2019, plus the
revised proposed final dividend of EUR 0.50 per share.
The convening notice for the Rescheduled Meeting will be published and new participation and voting forms
will be made available in due course. The timeline relating to the payment of the proposed final 2019 dividend
will be as follows:

Carlos Brito, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “COVID-19 is changing everyone’s lives in unprecedented ways.
However, it has not changed who we are or what we stand for at AB InBev. Our purpose remains more relevant
than ever: bringing people together for a better world. Today, for us it means joining efforts to prioritize each
other’s health and safety, to help our communities where we can and to support our operations. I am proud to
see our colleagues around the world working tirelessly with our partners, retailers, bars, pubs and restaurants
to support their long-term business success, and finding new ways to connect with our consumers. The
commitment, ingenuity and sense of urgency of our people will continue to take us forward.”
The changes to the Company’s leadership team announced on 6 February 2020 will continue to be effective
as of 29 April 2020.
